The Crime Desk: Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister last Monday and fled to India in the face of massive mass protests by the students and the quota reform movement.
On the same day, in a speech to the nation, Chief of Army Staff Waqar-uz-Zaman said that Sheikh Hasina has resigned. But Hasina’s son, Sajib Wazed Joy, claimed to Reuters yesterday that his mother did not resign. So he is still the Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir spoke to Indian media outlet NDTV on Sunday on the issue of Sheikh Hasina’s resignation. Fakhrul said that Sheikh Hasina left the country without resigning to avoid facing the angry crowd.
Fakhrul told NDTV in response to the claim of victory, “The president himself said in front of the leaders of various political parties and the top officers of the army that she (Sheikh Hasina) has resigned.” There was no coercion or anything like that. It was a revolution. ‘
“When lakhs of people started marching towards Sheikh Hasina’s residence, her security forces and the armed forces gave her two options. One is to stay and face the angry crowd. Another is to leave the country. And at the last moment she (Sheikh Hasina) decided to leave the country. BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia was released from the corruption case soon after the fall of the government.
About the BNP leader, Fakhrul said, ‘She is very ill. is in hospital Suffering from multiple diseases. His treatment in this country was not going well, and we requested several times to the judiciary and the government to send him abroad, but it did not happen. Doctors say that he is not fit to go out now. We have to wait some time before taking him out of the country. If he is physically fit, he will definitely contest the elections.
According to various foreign media reports, when the army refused to suppress the protests, the bell rang for the downfall of the Sheikh Hasina government. The army is now again discussed in the politics of Bangladesh. Mirza Fakhrul believes that the army will not interfere in the upcoming elections.
Fakhrul also said that people have faith that the army is the protector of the country. So I don’t think they (the army) will do anything that goes against the will of the people of the country.
